| Sir Don Bradman had said that Sachin plays the way he used to in his prime. Sunny Gavaskar believes Sachin was the best player in Bombay when he was just thirteen and hadn't played a single domestic match. Shane Warne feels that the little man is better than world record holder Brian Lara as he has absolutely no weakness. Greg Chappel feels that Sachin doesn't need a bat out in the middle; a single stump would be more than enough. The entire cricket world is convinced of one thing : Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar is the world's best batsman. Not just for his extraordinary skill, not just for his ability to tear even the most formidable of bowling attacks to shreds; but also for a rare never-say-die spirit, an insatiable hunger for runs and victory, a desire to dominate the opponent ; commitment, dedication ... these are what the little champion has built his reputation on. As Aussie Mark Waugh, another champion batsman, points out "His aggression, his knowledge of his abilities and limitations and his awareness of what the opposition bowlers are capable of are what make him remarkable. He always tries to control and dominate and this makes him an extremely dangerous player when he gets going." Tendulkar's ability and steely resolve was evident back in 1989 itself, when in his first test match he stood up to the fiery pace attack of Imran and | Akram on a treacherous track in front of a hostile Pakistani crowd. Since then, his career graph has soared, with tons of runs against every international side, both on home turf and on foreign territory. Sachin had always been seen as captaincy material, and once Azharrudin was sacked as skipper following the 1996 World Cup and India's disastrous tour of England, the elevation was made possible. But a dip in personal form and indifferent results as captain, made the twenty three year old's tenure at the helm forgettable. He was removed in 1997 -- Azhar coming back as captain -- only to be reinstated following the '99 World Cup. The story was no different this time either ... despite terrific performances with the bat himself, he was simply unable to draw any worthwhile performances out of his team, and he resigned following the dismal tour of Australia, making way for Saurav Ganguly. |
